Be Responsible Enough!

by: Martha M. Mina    SR.B

      These days, most of the young teens are getting into romantic relationships for different reasons. Some of them would do it because they would be left out in their group if they did not have a girlfriend or boyfriend; still, other s would do it because they feel “cool” and popular once they are in a relationship with someone; and others would do it for some other reasons. I would say that it is not advisable for high school students to get themselves involved in romantic relationships especially when they are not emotionally and mentally ready for it. Why? Because many other aspects of their life get very affected once their relationship with their boyfriend or girlfriend is not smooth sailing or rocky. For example: When you get into a fight with your boyfriend or girlfriend, your studies get affected, you would not eat for days, you inflict injury upon yourself, you lock yourself up in your room, you have sleepless nights, etc… all because your mind is set on your problem with your boyfriend or girlfriend and you cannot properly handle your emotions. All that I’m pointing out is that we should be responsible enough to take care of ourselves and we should be 100% sure of the things that we are getting into.
